We are looking to replace a bath with a walk in shower. Our first visit was to Grahams who have a showroom near us. The most obvious option was an offset quadrant shower enclosure 900 mm wide and 1200 mm long (longest side).
We were told that these could be got in larger sizes such as 900*1300 and
However I can't find these larger sizes on t'Internet at the moment on the web sites of the usual suspects.
Are there places which will produce bespoke sizes?

Eastbrook list some 1400 x 800. is that any good?
You can get under trays that you then tile - those have scope for custom sizes. Or build one up in fine concrete, and get it finished with a wet room style flooring.
When I wanted to make my main shower, I scoured the internet for a tray that would fit, constructed an enclosure from glass I bought at a local glazing firm, plus some MDF and tiled it myself
I think it cost about £300 in all. This is what it looks like
Avoid batthroom showrooms like the plague
Thats looks good. Where are the door fittings from, and did you have to drill the glass for the hinges?
The company I used supplied the glass drilled notched and toughened. And all the fittings. You cant cut toughened glass. You have to shape it before toughening
They cocked up one door, but I used that on another shower
IIRC it was
You can order DG panels and mirrors as well.
I cant believe they are unique - every major town probably has one glass supplier like it
Thanks to all so far.
Our current P bath is 850 mm wide in the sower area and this seems to be the minimum for comfort.
The 900 mm we tried in the showroom was that extra bit roomy.
Seriously considering TNP's route of bespoke glass enclosure as that seems to give us most flexibility.
